Tuesday Night Open Thread

I’ve never seen The Room. I’ve heard it’s bad. The clips I’ve seen are bad.

Some say it’s the worst movie ever made. Not having seen it, I can’t disagree. I’m not sure what’s the worst movie I’ve seen. Manos: The Hands of Fate? Plan 9 From Outer Space? Zaat (The Blood Waters of Dr. Z)? Howard the Duck?

I suppose I need to see The Room. One day, maybe.

  1. I’ve never seen this movie either, but it looks like I haven’t really missed anything. It’s probably not as bad a movie as oh let’s say Dolomite or Eegah but it sounds like it’s not for want of trying.

  2. How bad a movie is should be graded on a curve. The older the movie, the bigger the curve. Why? Because the knowledge of how to make movies is always growing, and the technology for it is always improving. A lot of Ed Wood’s movies had really horrible special effects (visible wires, etc.). But there wasn’t CGI back then, or a lot of other tech available now, so Ed had a less capable toolset to make his movies with. That should be taken into account when “grading” how bad a movie is.
